have been transferred vs am transferes

1)I have been transferred from mechanical to electrical department.
2)I am transferred from mechanical to electrical department.

Supposedly, If I am working still in electrical department and I got transferred three months ago. In this context, which one is correct? Since the transfer is valid( i.e I still wok in electrical department), can we use "have been"? However, I feel transfer is one time action. So, it can't continue. Even, "was transferred" makes sense but I still work there.

How shall we mention the date when we got transferred Like "october 3"?

I have been transferred from the mechanical department to the electrical department.
I was transferred from the mechanical department to the electrical department on October 3rd.
I transferred from the mechanical department to the electrical department on October 3rd.

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

You could add the date as an afterthought: 'I have been transferred to the electrical department - on 3 October, actually.' It doesn't make a grammatical sentence, but it sounds OK if there's a long enough pause before you specify the date.

Can I use this if I still work there?Yes

Does it mean I voluntarily transferred and [was not moved] not by the firm?
